My plants need more Nitrogen and instead of just guessing how much to up the ingredients just thought id see if there was a proven recipe.

Ive been using about 2 cups Peruvian Seabird Guano (blended pellets into powder)
1 cup bat guano 1 cup Humus a few cups worm Castings some liquid seaweed a splash of liquid Humus and Hi Brix (molasses) I CANT find quality compost :cry:
This is all in a 55 gallon drum with 2 3ft flexible air stones going 24 hrs. Its frothing and everything and doesnt smell bad but it just doesnt seem to be doing the job.

The plants that were planted younger are pretty much Blasting off but the bigger ones want some food
and ive already plucked a few leaves off!!

try adding a half a tablespoon per gallon of this Happy Frog granular mix, i put it through my coffee grinder first. (easy math for 55 gal- 7.5ml X 55=412.5, or a cup and a half)

and for some more kick, try adding Alfalfa Pellets. or, for a strong N source get some Fish Emulsion 5-1-1. i find some old Banana's really get the tea moving, and are a strong source of K.
PS, microbes thrive in a PH from 6-7, and molasses (among other things) is acidic, so try adding a cup of Crushed Oyster Shell to balance the mix.

Happy Growing!
